Light Dawning?
I finished reading Hugh Hewitt’s excellent, if tauntingly titled, book, If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat, on the morning of election day. I highly recommend it as a lesson in how politics actually works, and how to take things beyond your base and win. For anyone, not merely for Republican activists. I found a few points I disagreed on or would expand upon, but overall it is well presented, rational, thoughtful, an easy read, and packed with good advice.
A commenter at Chicago Boyz pointed to this DU post that is rational, sensible, and echoes points that Hugh makes in his book. Not that it’s the end all, and not that the DU post addresses the “Democrats lost their way on foreign policy and defense, and will get us all killed if we let them until they’ve had a generation to get their act together” angle that inspired Hugh, but it is sensible and a start at perceiving reality.
